Guy was pretty damn good for a big guy. My brother used to spam him all the time in No Mercy. He's one of the only wrestlers I can't form a negative opinion on.

Decent in the ring for a guy his size, but no real personality. He was another one of those "perfect tag team wrestlers", where if you paired him with a guy that could talk, they could have been huge.

He was pretty over for a little while there. His match against Shane McMahon at Summerslam 99 was a classic. It is too bad they didn't do much between Triple H and Test with the Stephanie McMahon angle. They had a shot to elevate Test to the next level with a good feud with Triple H.

He was getting a push in 1999 until Russo left. I think he may have been a Russo guy.
Russo said during a shoot that his original plan for the Test/Stephanie wedding was that Test would leave her at the alter and join DX. Test would start to lead DX, with Triple H getting jealous. Eventually, DX would turn on Test, leading to a feud between him and Triple H.

Never mind his early run - I loved his '06 run in ECW. That hardcore tag match with him and Knox against Dreamer and Sandman was f***ing brilliant and actually got him over with the Hammersmith mutants. Credit to the guy.
Also, he ALWAYS had the most killer big boot in the business. It looked like it murdered people.

He was great! A great big wrestler, his long hair did make him look a bit like Kevin Nash. I gotta confess, back in 2001 during the match between APA and DDP/Kanyon, I thought that was Nash that attacked the APA, until he turned around, it was Test.

I enjoyed his first run. Everything he did looked great, from his big boot to the flying elbow. Didn't care so much for his ECW run where he was roided up to almost immobility, which gave us the epically awful match against Lashley at the Rumble.

Was made for a tag team with a smaller, more technical, agile and charismatic wrestler who could carry the mic work.

They had a chance to do something big with him in 88 and again when he was with Stacy.
They dropped the ball twice

He was just horribly dull, absolute black hole of charisma. The only time I really enjoyed his work was when he tagged with Albert as TnA, but that was more for Albert and of course Trish than anything.
His ECW run in particular was horrible. I remember he made some comment to the press defending steroids saying something that because they weren't real athletes and wrestling wasn't a real sport, steroids were justified because they were merely for the use of improving aesthetics. f*** that.
His bacne was disgusting too.

He had the size, he had the look, he was alright in the ring, but he didn't have a whole lot in the way of charisma.

The one thing I really remember him for is the fact that he was supposed to get married to Stephanie, before Triple H hijacked the wedding. Outside of that, I thought he was dull as hell.

I thought he was alright and a pretty solid worker, but as others have said he had noooo charisma at all or even presence.
I will say this. I enjoyed the hell out of his match with Brock at the 2002 KOR, and actually thought he might pulll it off. That big boot he hit was naaaasty.

I always kinda liked Test, his big boot was so insane, when he returned in WWECW, I kinda was a bit put off with how freaking gigantic he got. He was solid tho

I always liked Test. Guy was a solid power man, and did have some (Not a lot, but enough) charisma.
